- EVIAN - LES - BAINS, France, July 8.—(AP)—The United States and Great Britain were understood today to have reached a tentative agreement regarding a permanent International committee to assist refugees from Greater Germany.
The Anglo-American plan, it was said in well-informed quarters at the 32-nation Intergovernmental Refugee conference in session here, would provide:
1. That the headquarters of the organization would be in London instead of in Paris, as first suggested.
2. That it remain free of close affiliation with existing refugee groups organized under auspices of the League of Nations.
3. For an American head, providing Washington's permission could be obtained.
The United States, Great Britain, France, Argentina, and Brazil would be represented on the permanent committee.
Approval of the Anglo-American plan by the Intergovernmental conference, which was called by President Roosevelt, would pave the way for possible negotiations with Germany to hasten and systematize emigration of German and Austrian Jews, it was said. - History Unfolded Contributor
